Barry Manilow is an internationally-known star whose talents and success have reached every facet of entertainment. He has sold 80 million records. Rolling Stone called him “The Showman of our generation." Manilow is a Grammy, Emmy, and Tony award winner, as well as an Academy Award nominee. His theatrical roots go back to his days in the mailroom at CBS in New York, when, at 18, he wrote the entire original score for a musical adaptation for the melodrama The Drunkard. The show ran Off-Broadway for eight years. He made his film scoring debut in 1994 with the Warner Brothers animated film Thumbelina, for which he contributed songs written with his Harmony collaborator Bruce Sussman. His second animated feature, The Pebble and the Penguin (MGM), once again featured songs by Manilow and Bruce Sussman. Copacabana – The Musical, (written with Sussman) played a sold out run in London's West End for 18 months, toured the U.S., and is currently touring world-wide. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002. Manilow recently finished a six week sold out run in New York at the St. James Theatre. The show, called Manilow on Broadway, received glowing reviews and played to wildly enthusiastic audiences. He considers Harmony the most rewarding creative experience of his career.
